You're absolutely right. I will change the title, the current one promises a bit more than gives.

The reason why I wrote about fondu was that that was the way I did it. Using the PC version came as an afterthought, and I did not have the time to check it.

I am afraid I am a typical Wikilogist: newbie with ConTeXt, speak bad TeX, and have my first Mac. In other words I don't really know what I'm talking about. However, I have the feeling that with some other Mac fonts it may so happen that only the Mac versions are available. This will happen if someone tries to install fonts existing in the Fonts folder of OS X.

So, maybe I'll just do some rewording there. Please, let me know if you agree. (Or, even better, modify it yourself! This is Wiki, after all.)

nice page, but I don't think the title is appropriate. How about installing a TrueType font, step by step? also, pointing to fondu is nice, but unnecessary: you just need to d/l the PC version of Gentium, and install that. --Adam 10:10, 29 Apr 2005 (CEST)

You're absolutely right. I will change the title, the current one promises a bit more than gives.

The reason why I wrote about fondu was that that was the way I did it. Using the PC version came as an afterthought, and I did not have the time to check it.

I am afraid I am a typical Wikilogist: newbie with ConTeXt, speak bad TeX, and have my first Mac. In other words I don't really know what I'm talking about. However, I have the feeling that with some other Mac fonts it may so happen that only the Mac versions are available. This will happen if someone tries to install fonts existing in the Fonts folder of OS X.

So, maybe I'll just do some rewording there. Please, let me know if you agree. (Or, even better, modify it yourself! This is Wiki, after all.)
